£10m for Ulloa!!!! **Official that Leo has gone**

[S'hampton Seagull]

A great deal, but gutted he has left to be honest. We need some positive news ASAP!

 

[:J)]

It says on the BBC "Brighton, meanwhile, had never received more than the £1.5m they were paid for Bobby Zamora by Tottenham in 2003, Adam Virgo by Celtic in 2005 and Elliott Bennett by Norwich City in 2011."

Didn't we get more than £1.5m for Bridders?

According to the BBC themselves it was £3m. They should check their own facts, FACT!

cf. Lawrenson was only 24/25 when he signed for Liverpool.

We should have sold Lawrenson for more, I thought at the time. Not so Ulloa. (NB: Muzzy Izzit could have left Leicester for a big fee in the past. He did not go, got injured and went on a free transfer a few years later.) Selling Ulloa is a win-win situation all around.

Another point, is that we should be keeping our players in the 24/25 age group and signing players about this age or a year younger if we can.

When we sold Lawrenson we bought Case (success), Thomas (failure) and one other. It really depends on who we get instead! Buying in a rush is not advised. I would not mind signing a Jimmy Case type of player this time around.

Time to move on now....



I firmly believe that this will prove, in time, to be a TB masterdeal.

This proves he wasn't actually as good as everyone's making out, yes he scored us goals but he spent the same amount of time on his arse crying

Although if it is £37k per week then there may well be a relegation clause that reduces that significantly

PG

No player actually signs a contract that has a relegation clause in it money wise, it simply does not happen

"And Fernandes has confirmed that Redknapp, together with a number of QPR's playing squad will see their wages drop next season.

'Do we have relegation clauses in players contracts? Yes, not on all of them but around 60 per cent of them,' said the airline tycoon.

'Is there one for the manager? Yes. His salary goes down.' "

Here's one example - there are plenty of others out there. Unless they're all lying?

 

[Biscuit]

A good deal, but I'm so sad to see him go. Really love having a striker that was so capable in the air, you always felt we were one good cross away from scoring.

See ya Ulloa, and thanks for the memories.

 

[father_and_son]

He's gone now so everyone can bang on about whether or not it was the right decision for the next four years

Fixed.

Don't forget we have to mention him in at least one future song too!

 

[Mackenzie]

Hopefully we'll sign someone equally adept at potting the black.

Bye bye Leo. Oh fancy seeing you here, Maheta!

Every club and their mum knows we now have an extra ten million, expect their asking prices to go up significantly if BHA come calling.

Which is what the issue is.

I do however would have thought that the price we paid for COG would have been agreed before the rumoured fee for Ulloa came to light though, otherwise it could have easily risen to £1 Million.

On topic, im not that sad to see him go. £8 Million is a brilliant bit of business for a slightly above average Championship striker who has his spells of being fairly poor.....and who cant take a penalty. We can now move on quickly and have an extra bit of money in the kitty.

 

[Machiavelli]

Good bye and Good luck

Thanks for posting that again: love the build-up to that goal, on a par with the build-up to the one he bagged against QPR last season, courtesy of Bruno and -- -- Andrews.

Sorry, according to NSC wisdom we are completely skint. I wish people would make their minds up when they play 'guess the budget based on hearsay'.

Yes, a goal every 2 games is pretty poor isn't it ?

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

0.44 for his entire career, just for the record. Also, his goals did tend to be in spells and he wasnt incredibly consistent which was his, and our, downfall last season.

If we can get a consistent goalscoring replacement, that will make the difference. COG isnt that, but would provide support in a Barnes style role which we lacked after he left.

 

[The_Viper]

Sorry, according to NSC wisdom we are completely skint. I wish people would make their minds up when they play 'guess the budget based on hearsay'.

I've not made any mention of what our budget is, nor what we'll spend. The fact is we have received 8 million for Leo, potentially rising to 10. Clubs will adjust their prices of their players accordingly due to this knowledge whether we have that in our transfer kitty or not, learn to read what I'm saying before going off on your pre-programmed rant.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

£8 mill or whatever for a centre forward 'unsteady' on his feet and had difficulty bringing a ball down and keeping it within control distance is a deal, it's a steal, it's sale of the bloomin' century.
Can't see premier league defenders losing much sleep.

 

[Vegas Seagull]

One significant factor in US coming out on top of this deal is the lack of times that Leo gets 2 or 3 in a game. Many other CF's do this but with him it was hardly ever strangely...?

Not good enough though is it!?
